Actually, I’ve NEVER had a revolver get out of time. I own about 8 of them.

I HAVE had semi-autos “jam”, on several occasions. I own about 6 them.

Also, if a round mis-fires in a (double-action) revolver all you have to do is pull the trigger again. A mis-fire in (most, if not all) semi-autos requires that the slide be racked in order to fire the weapon.

I like ALL my guns, but I have to agree that revolvers are stone reliable and that they TEND to be more accurate than semi-autos.

PS - This should in NO way be interpreted as support for banning ANY class of firearm.

I have seen lots of revolvers that had a cyl out of time and the accuracy is horrendous.

I agree that they are reliable as far as “going off” but that doesn't mean accurate.
